I tried deleting these packages manually but that led into an even deeper’s rats nest of dependency hell.  So one thing I tried was <\/p>\n
\r\n$ sudo yum groupremove \"KDE (K Desktop Environment)\"\r\n$ sudo yum --enablerepo=updates-testing groupinstall  \"KDE (K Desktop Environment)\"\r\n<\/pre>\n
However I still got conflcts so ran <\/p>\n
\r\n$ sudo yum remove libkipi\r\n$ sudo yum remove crystalsvg-icon-theme\r\n$ sudo yum --enablerepo=updates-testing groupupdate  \"KDE (K Desktop Environment)\"\r\n<\/pre>\n
And finally I have got KDE 4.1.0 to install in way too many steps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
